The CJerrrnwmlcr Mj.lem. "Kentucky and Massachusetts The Federal Legislature of Kentucky, in dividing tlie Slate into Congressional districts, gave the Democrats only one district out of fifteen, and that district t doubtful. So much for Kentucky ; the land of Henry Clay and its Clay Legislature. "The Federal party of Massachusetts, last year, so districted the State as to allow the Democrats one district only, out of ten ; and John Davis, the Federal Governor signed and approved the bill, the Whigs having only 800 majority at that time in the State. Since then the Democrats hsvo succeeded in electing Morton for Governor, and a majority in both branches of the Legislature. So much for Massachusetts, the State where lives one honest John Davis, thri Whig candidato for Vice President" Wo cut the above from a Loco Foco paper. We have seen similar fugitive paragraphs in tho Globe, Statesman, and other leading prints of that party. It is as loudly as they daro speak, and as directly to the eucstion, in defence of tho infamous manner in which this State was districted. We are falsely told, that the Whigs havo Ccirymanifcreiithe few States where thev had the Leirislaturcs. What i this but a tacit acknowledgement that the principle they hove prac- ticcd upon is wrong and unwarrantable? If the Whirrs have Gernimandered a State, or two States, is that a justification of the wholesale proceedings of the Loco Focos in the some line ? Is one party to oe justified in a violation of popular rights, becouse tho other has been guilty of a like infraction? This is a new light, and forms a new era in the political history of the country, if it is to guido our conduct in future. But wo say ogam it is false that tho Whigs have boen guilty of the acts imputed to thorn. The chargo in the above extract relative to Massachusetts, is notoriously so. It was shown most conclusively last summer, when this allegation was first made, not to rest upon the shallow of a foundation, in fact. Instead of the Loco Focos having but one member in Massachusetts, they elected TWO at the first trial, and the Whigs only thru. Sinco then the Whigs have barely elected one other, at two different trials. It has been already shown, when this charge was first trumped up, that either party that carried the State by a decisive vote, would havo the majority in Congress. What more could be wanted ? It was shown too that in respect to the population, the districts wero as closely equalized as possihlo varying not moro than one or two thousand from the ratio ; except in tho Boston district, where tho Whigs took on an excess af about 8000, greatly to their own disadvantage It is easy to chargo in general terms, that Massachusetts was gerrymandered, but it is impossible to produce a particle of proof to substantiate the accusation. Equally as groundless are tho statements from Loco Foco sources, in reference to Kentucky. Wo aro told with an air of great grief ond indignation, that the usurping Whigs, tho Clay Whigs, of Kentucky, have only allowed the Loco Focoe one member in Kentucky ! Will tho gentlemen who thus complain infurm us how Kentucky could have been divided so as to secure them another ? At tho Presidential election it almost gave two to one for tho Whig ticket. The Stole was almostentirely Whig. How then wsb it possible to have divided the State fairly and made up a larger portion of Loco Foco districts. It is true tiioro aro a few counties in ono corner of the State, which ore Loco Foco, and instead of smothering them under a load of Whig counties, by attaching them to Whig districts, the Legislature very properly ndopted the most natural arrangement, and henco that party will havo all they wero entitled to until they can increase their relative strength in tho Stale. We hozard nothing in saying that if they ciuld carry (he Stato for Governor or Presidential electors, they would have a minority in the represen tation in Cungress. Whut more could bo asked ? Even now if they can reduco tho Whig majority to 0000 in (he State, they will get not loss than four and perhaps more of tho delegation. What claim can they have to more, unless they could carry the State at a general election ? But the duplicity and mendacity of Loco r ocoism its incurablo proclivity to misrepresentation and falsehood, is betrayed in another featuro, in Ihe above quotation. It is here sot forth in a grave and deliberate manner, that tho ll'higs have so gerrymandered the Slate of Kentucky, that the Loco Focos "now only one district onto FIFTEEN, and eves that is doubtful!!" Now mark tlie silly lie ! Kentucky electa only TEN members! And as fortius "doubtful district," it gavo a Loco Foco majority of l,Vi, at the Governor election in 1810, and is able doubtless to do it again. So much for the honesty or fair dealing of Loco Focoisin. What a nation of Liars that party composes ! We subjoin a (nblo exhibiting tho Congressional . districu in Kentucky, and would thank any I-rvo Foco who thinks he possesses tlio requisite ingenuity, to explain how tho State could be so divided as to securo any moro Loco Foco districts, allowing tho Whigs to hold their majottty in IHI0.

The gain thus far is eleven, nut me Whigs havo lost one in Norfolk county, which leaves their net gain at fen, or a dillercnce or iimu from last year. This is not enough to carry the House, we think, but if tile Wftigs Keep on at um same rate, we will not be answorable for theconsequences. In addition to the above the wings nave gaineoa Senator in Spotlsylvania, and though the Loco Foco delegate has the certificate in Brooke by a majority of one, his scat will bo contested by his Whigcompetitor. In the Congressional districts, the returns are nut nartiallv received ; but still enough have come in to enable us to say that the Loco Focos havo not had evory thing their own way, as they anticipated wiien Gcrnmandering the Slate. Little doubt is entertain ed that Gooois Whig, has distanced Gov. Gilmer, in a district made up exprestly for the latter. In the ninth distrtct,CniLTOi is elected over Amim (known as Extra Billy, in Virginia.) In tho eighth Nkwtob Whig, has run R. M. T. Hunter very close, and is supposed to havo beaten him. In tho fourth, Toleb, Whig, is supposed to have beaten Hubbard, Loco Foco, ond a member of the last Congress. In the first, Lanohohne, Whig, is running Atkinson, L. F. much closor than was oxpected, and hopes ore felt that ho has been successful. Summers, Whig, is elected in the Kanawha and Steenrod, L. F., in the Wheeling districts, as was expected. Tho returns from Wise's district show his probable election, but the vote there has been exceedingly small. Dromgoole, L. F. is returned from the second district, without serious opposition. Hopkins, L F. in the thirteenth, had no regular opposition, end Lucas, L. F. in the tenth, has carried tho day against Faulkner. In the sixth, or Richmond, district the following is the result, Tbe Ve Pwr. ' " The repeated attempts which were mode by the NniiufiSnrVe rise of the VETO POWER to PREVENT THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE FROM CARRYING OUT THE WISHES OF THE CONSTITUENTS, was apparent to tho most casual observer. But notwithstanding: all these efforts to DESTROY the inhence of the REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE, they remained true to their principles, and fearlessly carried out the (Trent measures of reform IN DEFIANCE OF EXECUTIVE VETOES AND EXECUTIVE INFLUENCE." The reader, be his politics what they may, in conning over the above indignant denunciation of the abuso of tho Veto power and Die patriotic assertion of tho right of the Representative to carry out the will of his constituents, in defiance or Executive dictation, will bo very likely to conclude that he is pondering over the languogo of an honest Whig, as he is in fact the common sentiment of the Whig party. But it is a mistake. The extract is from the the Harrisbtirg (Pa.) Keystone, a Loco Foco source, and is applied to Gov. Porter, The admirers of the Veto power, in Pennsylvania, have had such a surfeit of it from their worthy Governor, that they bo- gin lo cry out, enough!

The polls will be purged, says the Whig, and if this proves to bo the fact, Mr. Jones will bo called upon to vacate a scot to which ho has not been elected. Under all (ho circumstances, it will be seen that " that same old coon " is ropidly recovering from his apathy, in Virginia, at least. What Neil Ihe llnril .'laser ir"n Uolni for n Uulli'il Mlntrs llutlk! What is tho roason that Iico Focoism, like every other tub, cinnut stand upon its own bottom? In some cases in tho north, the candidates of that party claim to be better Tariff men than tho Whigs. We havo seen a parapraph going the rounds of tho Loco Foco anti-Tariff papers, full of fiery wrath and indignation, because) the Whigs in Congress did not lay a higher duly on wool, and Ihus discriminate to a greater extent in favor of tho wool-grower. Now hen it is known that the doctors of that party aro wholly opposed to discrimination, their consistency exhibits itsolf in beauteous colors. Thowool-growers, however, they may have been amazed at such proofs of friendly interest in that quarter, looked in vain into the journals of Congress for a single motion emanating from the Loco Foco minority to raise tho duty on wool ; so we suspect tlie attempt to " pull the woul over their eyes," failed wholly. But a new phenomenon has arisen in the South. The Loco Focos in Tennesseo aro coming out for Ihe United States Bank ! Next we shall have these Loco Focos, who entertain such sn immortal hatred of Whig measures, like tho man on the stage who imitated the squealing of a pig better than the pig himself, pretending to be truer Whigs than the Whigs themselvos. It is tho homngo Unit vice ever pays to virtue, to appear in (he garb of that divinity, and to affect greater purity than the original herself. But sue the following from tho Knoieille (Tenn.) Post : "a woro to uiteo states bask me.i. The great popularity of a United Slates Hank all oner the Slate of Tennessee, has induced many of the Democratic mrtv. who aro cnndidntesl for seats in tho next Legislature, to avow themsttrrt in favor of Ihe establishment of stick an instilutimi.

But the Post advises tho Whigs and real friends f a national institution not to trust them. Nliiiipiim off Ihe t'nir-Hkini The editor of the CojAodon Democrat, in the fol lowing article, unconsciously exposes the base system of trickery resorted to by the lenders of his own party to hoodwink and humbug tlie people. How much longer will the freemen ot Ohio submit to Uie impostors, who under the cloak of exclusive " De mocracy, have destroyed their currency, overwhelm cd them with debt and doubled their taxes ? " lleller I.nle Ihnn Merer." In the last Statesman we noticed an article of a column in length, signed u Coshocton Farmer," commenting upon R. P. Spalding's Extra, which contained an article trom tho Missouri Reporter, published in February last. The whole object of this claiming-lo be " CojAocfou Farmer," appears to be to prove that a paper currency is unconstitutional, and dangerous to the country ; but admits, in the following words, that it would bo inexpedient to go hack to an exclusive metallic currency at this time: u Since Banks, alas! arose interwoven with the business transactions of the country trado prostrateand tho country and tho people laboring under embarrassments, it would, perhaps, not he advisable to dispense with Banks altogether. The sudden transition from a paoer to a hard mnney currency might be attended with evil results," &c. This is tho result of a column of very laborious reasoning, and places the matter on the precise ground which every Democrat desires to see it placed ! and wo hopo the writer will feel relieved after this "safe delivery." But wo will wager our best hat, which is none of tho best, by tho way, having been in wear some three years, that this column of rodomontade, in the Statesman, was never ritlen by a "Coshocton Farmer; and further, that was not written in Coshocton county, and (hat the writer of it wore kid gloves while penning the snmo prevent (ho "nasty ink"lrom swung ins wiiito ngcrs.

The notorious Byingtnn is said to have announced himself as a candidate for a re-election to tlie Leg islature. The creature doubtless is horn-mad to reach the Speaker's choir, and as tho head of the firm to Inch he belongs is going to Congress (if he can get votes enough), he presumes tho road offers no impediment to tho attainment of his object We lave no wish to introduce religious considerations into political matters, but wo should really liko to see how many of those people who support the insti' tulions of religion can again bo induced to prosti tute their votes to tho advancement of ono in so ma ny respects unworthy of their confidence, but who moro especially boasts that he never was in a church but once in his life, and then to nttend a political meeting. Viral! KlrrlUau If tho Whigs havo carried Virginia, whatwill Mrs. Grundy say? The Loco Focos did indeed capture Now York, but tho exchango of a city fur a Stale would be no bad trade. However, we havo conclii ded not to go Into ecstasies, until we are sure of the prise. If (lie gods hove given ns tlie victory, we will enjoy it with calmness and moderation.

Whilst the Statesman is engaged in labored ef forts to inflate Mr, Van Huron's Iwifoon and get mm float agnin, Gov.

The jury in (he case of the United States vs. Jes se 1W, late Van lluren Collector at Now York, have brought in a verdict of $'20,837 8ti in favor of the government That is the small sum out of which tho Treasury was swindled by a single Loco Foco Sub-Treasurer. Had Van Buren been ro-etccted, the country never would haw been the wiser for this enormous peculation. Iloyt is no richer for this plunder. The money was expended for election pur poses, in 1810, and with the knowledge and conui vnnce of the then existing Administration, Tho Loco Foco leaders were euro that by its means they would carry tho Stato of new lurk, but thanks to their nattiotisui all their lavish expenditures could not corrupt the hearts of tlie people, or win their votes. Van Huron is now to be a candidate for a rc-elec tion, and he comes up as tlie author and advocate of the Sub-Treasury, under which this immense rohbc ry of tlio people's money was effected during tho short timo it was in oporatinn before. Will Ihe pco- plo sanction (ho schcino, of which such won tho "first fruits?" lark.. The highest point reached hy Ohio 0 per cents, is 80. We have no malls from New York to-day, and are not able to report any farther advance. The Into sudden and material lmpulso given to the stock exchango, furnishes strong ground for the expectation that tho Fund Commissioners in Now York will succeed in effecting our 7 per cent loan a piece of good luck scarcely anticipated by tha Legislature when they passed the law, or the Com missioners when they repaired to New lork. lican. They have no interests to be addressed which are not common to all. Convince them therefore that the elevation of a certain stati sman to the head of the Government, and the adoption of a certain polity will be for the common interest, and their hearty support will be secured. The moans which experience suggests for this end, is the organization of political societies. The usual action of these societies is well understood. They collect and disseminate information, watch the movements of the opposition party, and take moasures to counteract them. These are at present the objects of "Clay Clubs." If the Whigs aro to triumph two years hence, it will be through the instrumentality of these associations. If all professing Whigs and friends of Henry Clay, would join them, and aid in diffusing among the mass of the opposition correct views of national affairs during tlie administrations of Jackson, Van lluren mid Tyler, there could be no doubt of the result All (hat is wnntcd among tho people is light All that is wanted to afford it, is united action among the Whigs. At present the burden and hoot of (he day are borne by a few. But more laborers are needed in the field. Let no member of (he party, no man who grumbles about the times and hopes for change, complain if he himself neglects the only means which can produce a change. It is incumbent on all to toke part in the work which the Clay Clubs ore doing. There is no Whig organization now, except in them. If Mr. Clny is to be the candidate of the party, they are necessary to strengthen his position. If he is not, they aro equally necessary to preserve union until circumstances determine his purpose. Trleri.m lll.plurrd. The Washington correspondent of tho Aurora and Union, who is understood to bo nu less o personage than Robert Tyler, Esq., and who is at any rate quite 'thick' with that gentleman's exemplary father, thus announces the purposes of the Executive : "The motto upon our banner now is, "those who are hot with us are aoainst is.'

Such increase is destined to keep paco with Ihe growth of our population, until without a figure of speech, on army of office holders may bo spread over the land. The unrestrained power exerted by a Hellishly ambitious man, in order eillier lo perpetuate his authority, or to hand it over lo some favorite as his successor, may lead to the employment of all the means within his control to accomplish his ohject. The right to remove from ollice, while subjected lo no just restraint, is inevitably destined to produce a spirit of crouching servility tcilh Ihe official corps, which, in order to uphold the hands tint feeds them, would lead to direct and active interference in Ihe elections, both State and Federal, thereby subjecting tho course of State log. islation to the dictation of the Chief Executive Olii-cer, and making the will of that officer nhsotule and supreme. 1 will, at a proper tune, iiivoho mo action it Uongross upon this eunject, onu sniiii reauuv nc-nuiesce in the adoption of all nroiier measures which are calculated to arrest (hose evils, s- full of danger in their tendency.

The supposition of lho New York Courier, is not ithnut probability that Mr. Van lluren has placed all his hoMs of success for lho Presidency, in carry ing the election to the Homo of Koprenlalives: tlio Courier declares that all his measures for a year put, havo boen taken with a view lo produce (his result Any one who looks at tho meagre majority by which Mr. Van Buren was elected in IKki, and at the immense majority by which he was defeated in 1810, who regards the disastrous results af his administration and tho signal condemnation visited up on his measurers of policy; any one who considers the personal unpopularity of tlie man, his ilouiiitui double dealing character, and the utter impossibility of connecting any enthusiasm wilh his name must be convinced, as Mr. Van lluren himseii prooaniy is, that ho cannot ever receive Ihe voto of a majority of tho people for another Presidential term. There is then, we repeat some probability in the Courier's notion that Mr. Vsn Huron's plan is to carry the e- lection to tlio House of Kepresentalives. ins Known that in various Congressional districts al recent c!cc lions the contest between lho Van lluren and the Calhoun divisions for the nomination havo been ac livo and violent but if particulars bo examined it may perhaps bo found that in almost every ease the Van lluren section has prevailed. Inoneoi uie Virginia districts Gen. Dromgoole, a Van lluren man, recieved tho nomination over Mr. Goode, the late member, a Calhounite, a few weeks since. Tlio Courier thus conclude on the subject: This beyond all duubt is his present game; and tho voto in such a contingency, of evory man elected to (no next Congress, is as well known to air. van Buren, and his clique as anv fact that has already nc curred; and what is more, measures have been taken lo prevent the possibility of a change of their voles.

Ho knows that the Whigs can heat him; and lie knows there Don't every fool know that when Vanocracy was at its highest power, wheat wss at its lowest price ? And with this fact within the memory of all, the Lo co leaders turn to 1838, and impudently assert that then were the glorious times of Van Uuremsm and high prices 1 Shannon and Van Buren Both found wheat averaging more man a dollar a Duanoi in ltuo, and lefl it in 1840, at 50 cents. It was in October, 1838, that Shannon was first elected tiovornor it was then the Loco Legislature commenced the big business of Bank Reform, which hos ended twice in a humbug doing no good to any body but a set of lazy, lounging uko iisnx iteceivers, wno are wi tching on a salary ot trom giuuu to sji.ruu per year, while the groat body of our farmers and mechanics are suffering from low prices, and want of a currency.

In 1842 Mr. McDonough residing opposite of New Orleans, liberated 80 sluves and sent them to Liberia. The history of this event is thus related by himself: "Feeling (he necessity of keoping the Sabbath holy, he would not allow his slaveB to work on thut day. Experience, however, soon convinced him that men who toiied six days for their master needed many things which he could not give them. To enable them to do this, he allowed them half of Saturday, that is, from mid-day till night, to work for themselves. "Seeing the amount of money the slaves accumulated in this way, he was led to calculate how long it would take them to purchase the remaining five and a half days. The result proved that it could be done in 14 or 15 years, and he determined to make the experiment For this end he called his slaves together, and explained to them his plan, and said, with their assent, he would carry it out They assented this was in 182(i and he made them the following explanation : "The one-half of Saturday being already your own, (in consequence of my agreement with you, that no labor shall he done on the Sabbath day,) your first object will be to gain a sufficient sum of money to purchase the other hulf of Saturday, which is the one eleventh part of the time you have to labor fof your master, and of consequence, the one eleventh part ot the value your muster has put upon you, nnd which you have to pay him for your freedom. This I nolify you will he the most difficult purt of your undertuking,and take the longest time to accomplish, and is to be effected by laboring for me on Saturday afternoons, and leaving the amount of your labor in my hands, to be husuanued up lor you. lly lorego-ing every thing yourselves, and drawing as little money as possible out of my hands, I calculuteyou will be able to eccnmplish it in about seven years tliot once accomplished, and ono whole day out of six your own, ycu will go on more easily and rapidly ; iiiueou, mui Jure eiieoieo, your auueesa is certain, proceeding then on in your good work, you will be enabled easily, by your earnings on one entire day in each wock, to eneel lho purchase ot another day in about lour years, xnow muster and owner ot two days iu each week, you will bo able in two years more lo purchase another day, so that three days, or one half of your time will be your own ) in one and a half years more, you will be able to purchase anoth er day, making four days your own; in ono year more, another, at the fii'th day ; and in six months. the last day, or the whole of your time will be your own. The results of the experiments were these. In less than Bix years, the first half day was gained and paid for by them. In about four years the next second day of the week was paid fur and their own. In about two and a quurter years, the third. In fifteen months the fourth. In a year the fifth, and in about six months, tho lust or sixth day becume their own, nnd completed the purehnse, effecting their freedom in about fourteen and a half years. It could have been sooner done, but towards the last, they drew more money. After this it took them nearly five months to pay the balance due on their children, added to whut the youths hoys and girls, had earned. On Ihe morning of the 8lh uf June, lri'.', they all sailed for Liberia. Some may exclaim, " why this round about way of giving half a Saturday, keeping accounts, &c, &c. ? It is all unnecessary, and this working to gain timo is an illusion tho whole of the time of tho slave belongs to, and is the time of the master, who can compel the labor without the freeing ot the slave," Mr, .Mel)., very much to tho point, replies that by presenting some end, an object of desire and hopo to the slave, you make him a new man, rouse his moral nature, and develope, ns you no otherwise can, his energies. He prefers this mode to that of prom ising freedom at the end of fifteen years, because in this way, fiis freedom would appear the gift of his master, who might repent ot and retract (as (he slave would fear) his promise, while in lluit Uie slave would have gained it have purchased and paid his master fur it Hoiie is kept alive in his bosom, and he has a good in view, continually urging him to fidelity, truth, industry, economy, and every virtue and good work. Mr. McD. calculated, "that their labor would be given with all tbe energy of heart, soul and physical powers, that they would inconsequence accomplish more labor in a given timo, than the same number of persons would in ordinary circumstances, and that in addition, they would labor some two, three or four hours more of the twenty-four, than other slaves wero in the habit of doing or would do," and he says: " From the day on which I made the agreement with (hem, (notwithstanding they had, at all times previous thereto, been well disposed and orderly people) an entire change seemed to come over thorn ; they were no longer apparently tho same people ; a seuatencss, a care, an economy, an industry look possession ot them, to which there seemed to ne no bounds but in their physical streng(h. They were never tired ot laboring, anil seemed as though they could nevur effect enough. They beenmo temper ate, moral, religious; setting an example ot inno cent unoffending lives to the world around them, which was seen and admired by ell. 1 no result oi my experiment in a pecuniary point of view, as re lates to inyselt, is not one ot tho least surprising ot ns teutores, and is this, that in the space ol about 1( years, which those people served me, since mak ing the agreement witli them, they have gained for me, in addition to having performed moro and better labor than slaves ordinarily perform, in the usual time of laboring, a sum of money (including the sum they appear to have paid ine, in the purchase of their time) which will enable nic logo to Virginia or Car- Who can doubt that Ihe relation of master and slave, marked by a conscientious regard to their beat and enduring interests on Uie one hand, and as con- scienUous a reference to his rights and claims on tbe other, became Uie channel through which the Master in heaven vouchsafed his blessing to ootn tne purest happiness and strong affection. The admission of Mr. McD. is clear and decisive. " I can say with truth, that the last ili years of my life, passed aa they have been, in Deace and without anxiety in the midst of these people, have been among the most happy of my lite ; lor the very knowledge Uiat I was surrounded by those who looked upon me in the light of a friend and a father, and who would willingly at any Ume have periled their own lives to have saved mine, if necessary, gave peace and serenity to Uie mind." ins leeung arm language to me on parting, ao nun infinite honor, and the overflowings of Uicir affec tionate sense of this kindness as conveyed (o him by Mr. , spontaneously and naturally drawn forth, must have been, we have almost said, a foretaste of the delight he will feel when he meets them before Him, whose image in them ho despised not hut with noble pains taking, brought it out from its ruins, and watched over and cherished it Ull he could send them forth in the glorious liberty of children of God to their father lund. " The ship in which they sailed for Africa, floated opposite my house, in the Mississippi, at the bank of Ihe river ; I had taken my leave of them on going on board the ship, on Friday evening, the day previous to her sailing, in my house, i he scene which then took place, I will not attempt to deseriho it can never be erased from my memory. Though standing in need on Uie occasion, of consolation myself, (in bidding a last furewcll on earth to those who had so many claims on my affection, and who had been round and about me for such a long series of years) I had to administer to them, who stood in the greatest need of it to tell them the separation was hut for a brief period of time ; that we should meet again, I trusted, in a better and happier state; to charge them to gird up their loins, and play the man valiantly, in their determinniion lo enter into their own Canaan, and to remember that there was still another and final separaUon from all Uiings earthly, which they had to sustain and encountor; to meet and be prepared for, which, they must persevere in well doing to the end; that their lamps must be kept well trimmed, and their lights burning. "After seeing them' on, (the ship was taken by a steamer,) Mr. McLain came into my house as I was expecting him to breakfast, and on seeing him much utfected in his manner, (a teur standing io his eye,) I louired if any thing had taken place to give hun Mini to which he replied, "oh, sir, it was an affect- ng sight to see them depart I hey wero all on the leck of the shin, and your Bcrvnuts who have not gone, were on the shore bidding them farewell, when Irom every tongue on board the ship 1 heard the harge to those on shore, "funny, frin-e care of our master.

From this tnhln it appears that lho crops of 1-SW sold for tl,4o.',i, and that ever since that year, there has been a great decrease in prico, amounting iu four years to a loss in Stark county alone of upwards of one million of dollars. It will bo remembered that in IttH, wheat commanded a high prico, and farmers' produce generally was well paid but in that year also, be it remembered, Wilson Shannon and his Locos camo inlo power and commenced a war against Uio Banks, and Martin Van Buren hod his secie circular in successful operation.

During the lost war one of our frigates captured in Uie Pacific a large English whaler, and to tbe stir- ire of the boarding otticer, ho found lho crew man- festing a great desire to get on board the frigate, and evidently quite satisfied, if not actually gratified that they were captured. On inquiry it was found that the captured whaler was a haunted ship ! The news soon spread through the frigute: Uie next trouble wbb to assemble a willing prize crew lo go on board the Krize which trouble might have been a serious one ut for the force of discipline. The prize was a large and valuable ship but she was haunted ! The authentic report, was, that during a still night when no other noise was heard, and no other motion felt than that of Ihe slow, undulating movement of a Pacific Ocean ses, a deep and deadly groan was heard below, coming apparently from tho after part of the vessel. nil heard distinctly trom every open hatchway; and so great was the panic at last, that the captain de- lared he could not induce a man to go below. The Prize master on taking possession, pretended to disbelieve the story, snd declared that if he heard any groaning or other ghostly noises he d soon nnd nut the cause. As evening approached the prize crew icgan to listen; and sure enough, when tho usual noise of the ship work subsided and all was silence, loud, deep drawn sigh came up through the alter hatchway, and increased at intervals as silence prevailed, till at last a full and aiidiblegroan came forth that not only huddled Uie prize crew into a close torecastle group, but mode their blood curdle, and their teeth chatter. Groan succeeded groan at short intervals, till at length the voice of Ihe prise-master nterposed. " here in does that noise come from ? Call all bonds." There was no need of this call, all hands were already on deck. " Steward, get tghts: come nien, arm yourselves and follow me I'm d d if I don't have atussel with this groan- He led the way, and the men followed. On reaching the 'tween decks he stopjicd and listened to get the right direction ol the groan. It came aa before from the alter part of tho ship, and so deep and long drawn that it seemed the last life effort of a Her cules in an exhausted death struggle full sigh,ters nunating in a groan ol agony::: I he dauntless prize-master, though armed with a boarding sword, stood for a moment petrified Had he retreated one step, it is quite certain every ono of his followers would very soon have been found huddled together again in a close group on the forecastle, so terrible was Uie last groan and so awful its effect upon the hearts of thoso who on occssion of battle were found foremost in the light Hut he held bia ground it was no time to flinch, and cheered hiB men onward "to follow" him."

It is as loudly as they daro speak, and as directly to the eucstion, in defence of tho infamous manner in which this State was districted. We are falsely told, that the Whigs havo Ccirymanifcreiithe few States where thev had the Leirislaturcs. What i this but a tacit acknowledgement that the principle they hove prac- ticcd upon is wrong and unwarrantable? If the Whirrs have Gernimandered a State, or two States, is that a justification of the wholesale proceedings of the Loco Focos in the some line ? Is one party to oe justified in a violation of popular rights, becouse tho other has been guilty of a like infraction? This is a new light, and forms a new era in the political history of the country, if it is to guido our conduct in future. But wo say ogam it is false that tho Whigs have boen guilty of the acts imputed to thorn. The chargo in the above extract relative to Massachusetts, is notoriously so. It was shown most conclusively last summer, when this allegation was first made, not to rest upon the shallow of a foundation, in fact. Instead of the Loco Focos having but one member in Massachusetts, they elected TWO at the first trial, and the Whigs only thru. Sinco then the Whigs have barely elected one other, at two different trials. It has been already shown, when this charge was first trumped up, that either party that carried the State by a decisive vote, would havo the majority in Congress. What more could be wanted ? It was shown too that in respect to the population, the districts wero as closely equalized as possihlo varying not moro than one or two thousand from the ratio ; except in tho Boston district, where tho Whigs took on an excess af about 8000, greatly to their own disadvantage It is easy to chargo in general terms, that Massachusetts was gerrymandered, but it is impossible to produce a particle of proof to substantiate the accusation. Equally as groundless are tho statements from Loco Foco sources, in reference to Kentucky. Wo aro told with an air of great grief ond indignation, that the usurping Whigs, tho Clay Whigs, of Kentucky, have only allowed the Loco Focoe one member in Kentucky ! Will tho gentlemen who thus complain infurm us how Kentucky could have been divided so as to secure them another ? At tho Presidential election it almost gave two to one for tho Whig ticket. The Stole was almostentirely Whig. How then wsb it possible to have divided the State fairly and made up a larger portion of Loco Foco districts. It is true tiioro aro a few counties in ono corner of the State, which ore Loco Foco, and instead of smothering them under a load of Whig counties, by attaching them to Whig districts, the Legislature very properly ndopted the most natural arrangement, and henco that party will havo all they wero entitled to until they can increase their relative strength in tho Stale. We hozard nothing in saying that if they ciuld carry (he Stato for Governor or Presidential electors, they would have a minority in the represen tation in Cungress. Whut more could bo asked ? Even now if they can reduco tho Whig majority to 0000 in (he State, they will get not loss than four and perhaps more of tho delegation. What claim can they have to more, unless they could carry the State at a general election ? But the duplicity and mendacity of Loco r ocoism its incurablo proclivity to misrepresentation and falsehood, is betrayed in another featuro, in Ihe above quotation. It is here sot forth in a grave and deliberate manner, that tho ll'higs have so gerrymandered the Slate of Kentucky, that the Loco Focos "now only one district onto FIFTEEN, and eves that is doubtful!!" Now mark tlie silly lie ! Kentucky electa only TEN members! And as fortius "doubtful district," it gavo a Loco Foco majority of l,Vi, at the Governor election in 1810, and is able doubtless to do it again. So much for the honesty or fair dealing of Loco Focoisin. What a nation of Liars that party composes ! We subjoin a (nblo exhibiting tho Congressional . districu in Kentucky, and would thank any I-rvo Foco who thinks he possesses tlio requisite ingenuity, to explain how tho State could be so divided as to securo any moro Loco Foco districts, allowing tho Whigs to hold their majottty in IHI0.

F. much closor than was oxpected, and hopes ore felt that ho has been successful. Summers, Whig, is elected in the Kanawha and Steenrod, L. F., in the Wheeling districts, as was expected. Tho returns from Wise's district show his probable election, but the vote there has been exceedingly small. Dromgoole, L. F. is returned from the second district, without serious opposition. Hopkins, L F. in the thirteenth, had no regular opposition, end Lucas, L. F. in the tenth, has carried tho day against Faulkner. In the sixth, or Richmond, district the following is the result, Tbe Ve Pwr. ' " The repeated attempts which were mode by the NniiufiSnrVe rise of the VETO POWER to PREVENT THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE FROM CARRYING OUT THE WISHES OF THE CONSTITUENTS, was apparent to tho most casual observer.

The reader, be his politics what they may, in conning over the above indignant denunciation of the abuso of tho Veto power and Die patriotic assertion of tho right of the Representative to carry out the will of his constituents, in defiance or Executive dictation, will bo very likely to conclude that he is pondering over the languogo of an honest Whig, as he is in fact the common sentiment of the Whig party.

What Neil Ihe llnril .'laser ir"n Uolni for n Uulli'il Mlntrs llutlk! What is tho roason that Iico Focoism, like every other tub, cinnut stand upon its own bottom? In some cases in tho north, the candidates of that party claim to be better Tariff men than tho Whigs. We havo seen a parapraph going the rounds of tho Loco Foco anti-Tariff papers, full of fiery wrath and indignation, because) the Whigs in Congress did not lay a higher duly on wool, and Ihus discriminate to a greater extent in favor of tho wool-grower. Now hen it is known that the doctors of that party aro wholly opposed to discrimination, their consistency exhibits itsolf in beauteous colors. Thowool-growers, however, they may have been amazed at such proofs of friendly interest in that quarter, looked in vain into the journals of Congress for a single motion emanating from the Loco Foco minority to raise tho duty on wool ; so we suspect tlie attempt to " pull the woul over their eyes," failed wholly. But a new phenomenon has arisen in the South. The Loco Focos in Tennesseo aro coming out for Ihe United States Bank ! Next we shall have these Loco Focos, who entertain such sn immortal hatred of Whig measures, like tho man on the stage who imitated the squealing of a pig better than the pig himself, pretending to be truer Whigs than the Whigs themselvos. It is tho homngo Unit vice ever pays to virtue, to appear in (he garb of that divinity, and to affect greater purity than the original herself. But sue the following from tho Knoieille (Tenn.)

How much longer will the freemen ot Ohio submit to Uie impostors, who under the cloak of exclusive " De mocracy, have destroyed their currency, overwhelm cd them with debt and doubled their taxes ? " lleller I.nle Ihnn Merer." In the last Statesman we noticed an article of a column in length, signed u Coshocton Farmer," commenting upon R. P. Spalding's Extra, which contained an article trom tho Missouri Reporter, published in February last. The whole object of this claiming-lo be " CojAocfou Farmer," appears to be to prove that a paper currency is unconstitutional, and dangerous to the country ; but admits, in the following words, that it would bo inexpedient to go hack to an exclusive metallic currency at this time: u Since Banks, alas! arose interwoven with the business transactions of the country trado prostrateand tho country and tho people laboring under embarrassments, it would, perhaps, not he advisable to dispense with Banks altogether.

This is tho result of a column of very laborious reasoning, and places the matter on the precise ground which every Democrat desires to see it placed ! and wo hopo the writer will feel relieved after this "safe delivery." But wo will wager our best hat, which is none of tho best, by tho way, having been in wear some three years, that this column of rodomontade, in the Statesman, was never ritlen by a "Coshocton Farmer; and further, that was not written in Coshocton county, and (hat the writer of it wore kid gloves while penning the snmo prevent (ho "nasty ink"lrom swung ins wiiito ngcrs.

The jury in (he case of the United States vs. Jes se 1W, late Van lluren Collector at Now York, have brought in a verdict of $'20,837 8ti in favor of the government That is the small sum out of which tho Treasury was swindled by a single Loco Foco Sub-Treasurer. Had Van Buren been ro-etccted, the country never would haw been the wiser for this enormous peculation. Iloyt is no richer for this plunder.

They have no interests to be addressed which are not common to all. Convince them therefore that the elevation of a certain stati sman to the head of the Government, and the adoption of a certain polity will be for the common interest, and their hearty support will be secured. The moans which experience suggests for this end, is the organization of political societies. The usual action of these societies is well understood. They collect and disseminate information, watch the movements of the opposition party, and take moasures to counteract them. These are at present the objects of "Clay Clubs." If the Whigs aro to triumph two years hence, it will be through the instrumentality of these associations. If all professing Whigs and friends of Henry Clay, would join them, and aid in diffusing among the mass of the opposition correct views of national affairs during tlie administrations of Jackson, Van lluren mid Tyler, there could be no doubt of the result All (hat is wnntcd among tho people is light All that is wanted to afford it, is united action among the Whigs. At present the burden and hoot of (he day are borne by a few. But more laborers are needed in the field. Let no member of (he party, no man who grumbles about the times and hopes for change, complain if he himself neglects the only means which can produce a change. It is incumbent on all to toke part in the work which the Clay Clubs ore doing. There is no Whig organization now, except in them.

There is then, we repeat some probability in the Courier's notion that Mr. Vsn Huron's plan is to carry the e- lection to tlio House of Kepresentalives. ins Known that in various Congressional districts al recent c!cc lions the contest between lho Van lluren and the Calhoun divisions for the nomination havo been ac livo and violent but if particulars bo examined it may perhaps bo found that in almost every ease the Van lluren section has prevailed.

In 1842 Mr. McDonough residing opposite of New Orleans, liberated 80 sluves and sent them to Liberia. The history of this event is thus related by himself: "Feeling (he necessity of keoping the Sabbath holy, he would not allow his slaveB to work on thut day. Experience, however, soon convinced him that men who toiied six days for their master needed many things which he could not give them. To enable them to do this, he allowed them half of Saturday, that is, from mid-day till night, to work for themselves. "Seeing the amount of money the slaves accumulated in this way, he was led to calculate how long it would take them to purchase the remaining five and a half days. The result proved that it could be done in 14 or 15 years, and he determined to make the experiment For this end he called his slaves together, and explained to them his plan, and said, with their assent, he would carry it out They assented this was in 182(i and he made them the following explanation : "The one-half of Saturday being already your own, (in consequence of my agreement with you, that no labor shall he done on the Sabbath day,) your first object will be to gain a sufficient sum of money to purchase the other hulf of Saturday, which is the one eleventh part of the time you have to labor fof your master, and of consequence, the one eleventh part ot the value your muster has put upon you, nnd which you have to pay him for your freedom. This I nolify you will he the most difficult purt of your undertuking,and take the longest time to accomplish, and is to be effected by laboring for me on Saturday afternoons, and leaving the amount of your labor in my hands, to be husuanued up lor you. lly lorego-ing every thing yourselves, and drawing as little money as possible out of my hands, I calculuteyou will be able to eccnmplish it in about seven years tliot once accomplished, and ono whole day out of six your own, ycu will go on more easily and rapidly ; iiiueou, mui Jure eiieoieo, your auueesa is certain, proceeding then on in your good work, you will be enabled easily, by your earnings on one entire day in each wock, to eneel lho purchase ot another day in about lour years, xnow muster and owner ot two days iu each week, you will bo able in two years more lo purchase another day, so that three days, or one half of your time will be your own ) in one and a half years more, you will be able to purchase anoth er day, making four days your own; in ono year more, another, at the fii'th day ; and in six months. the last day, or the whole of your time will be your own. The results of the experiments were these. In less than Bix years, the first half day was gained and paid for by them. In about four years the next second day of the week was paid fur and their own. In about two and a quurter years, the third. In fifteen months the fourth. In a year the fifth, and in about six months, tho lust or sixth day becume their own, nnd completed the purehnse, effecting their freedom in about fourteen and a half years. It could have been sooner done, but towards the last, they drew more money. After this it took them nearly five months to pay the balance due on their children, added to whut the youths hoys and girls, had earned. On Ihe morning of the 8lh uf June, lri'.', they all sailed for Liberia. Some may exclaim, " why this round about way of giving half a Saturday, keeping accounts, &c, &c. ? It is all unnecessary, and this working to gain timo is an illusion tho whole of the time of tho slave belongs to, and is the time of the master, who can compel the labor without the freeing ot the slave," Mr, .Mel)., very much to tho point, replies that by presenting some end, an object of desire and hopo to the slave, you make him a new man, rouse his moral nature, and develope, ns you no otherwise can, his energies. He prefers this mode to that of prom ising freedom at the end of fifteen years, because in this way, fiis freedom would appear the gift of his master, who might repent ot and retract (as (he slave would fear) his promise, while in lluit Uie slave would have gained it have purchased and paid his master fur it Hoiie is kept alive in his bosom, and he has a good in view, continually urging him to fidelity, truth, industry, economy, and every virtue and good work. Mr. McD. calculated, "that their labor would be given with all tbe energy of heart, soul and physical powers, that they would inconsequence accomplish more labor in a given timo, than the same number of persons would in ordinary circumstances, and that in addition, they would labor some two, three or four hours more of the twenty-four, than other slaves wero in the habit of doing or would do," and he says: " From the day on which I made the agreement with (hem, (notwithstanding they had, at all times previous thereto, been well disposed and orderly people) an entire change seemed to come over thorn ; they were no longer apparently tho same people ; a seuatencss, a care, an economy, an industry look possession ot them, to which there seemed to ne no bounds but in their physical streng(h. They were never tired ot laboring, anil seemed as though they could nevur effect enough.

The admission of Mr. McD. is clear and decisive. " I can say with truth, that the last ili years of my life, passed aa they have been, in Deace and without anxiety in the midst of these people, have been among the most happy of my lite ; lor the very knowledge Uiat I was surrounded by those who looked upon me in the light of a friend and a father, and who would willingly at any Ume have periled their own lives to have saved mine, if necessary, gave peace and serenity to Uie mind." ins leeung arm language to me on parting, ao nun infinite honor, and the overflowings of Uicir affec tionate sense of this kindness as conveyed (o him by Mr. , spontaneously and naturally drawn forth, must have been, we have almost said, a foretaste of the delight he will feel when he meets them before Him, whose image in them ho despised not hut with noble pains taking, brought it out from its ruins, and watched over and cherished it Ull he could send them forth in the glorious liberty of children of God to their father lund. " The ship in which they sailed for Africa, floated opposite my house, in the Mississippi, at the bank of Ihe river ; I had taken my leave of them on going on board the ship, on Friday evening, the day previous to her sailing, in my house, i he scene which then took place, I will not attempt to deseriho it can never be erased from my memory. Though standing in need on Uie occasion, of consolation myself, (in bidding a last furewcll on earth to those who had so many claims on my affection, and who had been round and about me for such a long series of years) I had to administer to them, who stood in the greatest need of it to tell them the separation was hut for a brief period of time ; that we should meet again, I trusted, in a better and happier state; to charge them to gird up their loins, and play the man valiantly, in their determinniion lo enter into their own Canaan, and to remember that there was still another and final separaUon from all Uiings earthly, which they had to sustain and encountor; to meet and be prepared for, which, they must persevere in well doing to the end; that their lamps must be kept well trimmed, and their lights burning. "After seeing them' on, (the ship was taken by a steamer,) Mr. McLain came into my house as I was expecting him to breakfast, and on seeing him much utfected in his manner, (a teur standing io his eye,) I louired if any thing had taken place to give hun Mini to which he replied, "oh, sir, it was an affect- ng sight to see them depart I hey wero all on the leck of the shin, and your Bcrvnuts who have not gone, were on the shore bidding them farewell, when Irom every tongue on board the ship 1 heard the harge to those on shore, "funny, frin-e care of our master.

From this tnhln it appears that lho crops of 1-SW sold for tl,4o.',i, and that ever since that year, there has been a great decrease in prico, amounting iu four years to a loss in Stark county alone of upwards of one million of dollars. It will bo remembered that in IttH, wheat commanded a high prico, and farmers' produce generally was well paid but in that year also, be it remembered, Wilson Shannon and his Locos camo inlo power and commenced a war against Uio Banks, and Martin Van Buren hod his secie circular in successful operation.

During the lost war one of our frigates captured in Uie Pacific a large English whaler, and to tbe stir- ire of the boarding otticer, ho found lho crew man- festing a great desire to get on board the frigate, and evidently quite satisfied, if not actually gratified that they were captured. On inquiry it was found that the captured whaler was a haunted ship ! The news soon spread through the frigute: Uie next trouble wbb to assemble a willing prize crew lo go on board the Krize which trouble might have been a serious one ut for the force of discipline. The prize was a large and valuable ship but she was haunted ! The authentic report, was, that during a still night when no other noise was heard, and no other motion felt than that of Ihe slow, undulating movement of a Pacific Ocean ses, a deep and deadly groan was heard below, coming apparently from tho after part of the vessel. nil heard distinctly trom every open hatchway; and so great was the panic at last, that the captain de- lared he could not induce a man to go below. The Prize master on taking possession, pretended to disbelieve the story, snd declared that if he heard any groaning or other ghostly noises he d soon nnd nut the cause. As evening approached the prize crew icgan to listen; and sure enough, when tho usual noise of the ship work subsided and all was silence, loud, deep drawn sigh came up through the alter hatchway, and increased at intervals as silence prevailed, till at last a full and aiidiblegroan came forth that not only huddled Uie prize crew into a close torecastle group, but mode their blood curdle, and their teeth chatter. Groan succeeded groan at short intervals, till at length the voice of Ihe prise-master nterposed. " here in does that noise come from ? Call all bonds." There was no need of this call, all hands were already on deck. " Steward, get tghts: come nien, arm yourselves and follow me I'm d d if I don't have atussel with this groan- He led the way, and the men followed. On reaching the 'tween decks he stopjicd and listened to get the right direction ol the groan. It came aa before from the alter part of tho ship, and so deep and long drawn that it seemed the last life effort of a Her cules in an exhausted death struggle full sigh,ters nunating in a groan ol agony::: I he dauntless prize-master, though armed with a boarding sword, stood for a moment petrified Had he retreated one step, it is quite certain every ono of his followers would very soon have been found huddled together again in a close group on the forecastle, so terrible was Uie last groan and so awful its effect upon the hearts of thoso who on occssion of battle were found foremost in the light Hut he held bia ground it was no time to flinch, and cheered hiB men onward "to follow" him."
